AIR FILTER CLEANING
Loosen the sleeve screw, no.2 (see Fig. 3) so you can remove the air filter cover,
no.1. Now you have free acces to the filter. Remove the filter, clean it in petrol and
lubricate it with engine oil. To re-install the filter, reverse the procedure above.
PINION REPLACEMENT (Fig. 5)
First, dismantle the chain guard. Then
loosen the rear axle eccentric bolts and
the rear brake reaction catcher. Remove
the drive chain. Insert, carefully, a large
screwdriver or steel rod into the clutch
drum hole, to avoid the clutch drum
turning when releasing the pinion (Fig. 5).
Use a special pinion wrench (319.050.00)
to replace the pinion.
FRONT AXLE ALIGNMENT
Front axle alignment is performed by adjusting the steering tie rod length. Loosen the
nuts (M8) and dismantle the steering joint at both front wheels. Loosen the steering
tie rod safety nut (M8) and by screwing the tie rod end in or out, adjust the
length accordingly. The toe-in angle of the front wheels should be between 0
°
and 1
°
.
STORAGE PROCEDURE
If the vehicle is to be left unused for a period of time, it is recommended to drain out
all the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor. Inflate the tyres to the normal working
pressure. Remove the spark plug, clean it, put a few drops of motor oil into the
cylinder, pull the starter rope 2-3 times, so an oil film evenly coats the cylinder walls
and piston. Re-install the spark plug.
